"Studies in the literary and artistic responses to disease and disability in the premodern era. Humanity has always shown a keen interest in the pathological, ranging from a morbid fascination with 'monsters' and deformities to a genuine compassion for the ill and suffering. Medieval and early modern people were no exception, expressing their emotional response to disease in both literary works and, to a somewhat lesser extent, in the plastic arts. Consequently, it becomes necessary to ask what motivated writers and artists to choose an illness or a disability and its physical and social consequences as subjects of aesthetic or intellectual expression. Were these works the result of an intrusion in their intent to faithfully reproduce nature, or do they reflect an intentional contrast against the pre-modern portrayal of spiritual ideals and, later, through the influence of the classics, the rediscovered importance and beauty of the human body? The essays contained in this volume address these questions, albeit not always directly but, rather, through an analysis of the societal reactions to the threats and challenges that essentially unopposed disease and physical impairment presented. They cover a wide range of responses, variable, of course, according to the period under scrutiny, its technological moment, and the usually fruitless attempts at treatment"

Les personnes avec une déficience sortent-elles de l'ombre séculaire où elles furent laissées ? Les plus grands peintres n'ont pas hésité à placer les corps déformés dans la lumière de leurs œuvres. Un parcours superficiel pourrait conclure à des mises en scène grotesques ou pitoyables, dérisoires ou accusatrices, contribuant au rejet des corps meurtris dans les ténèbres sociales. Intrigués et séduits par les corps infirmes, les peintres nous offrent au contraire des visions magnifiques et inattendues des défaillances, dénonçant, par des retournements subtils et admirables, le sort qu'on leur fait, nous renvoyant à notre condition commune, limitée et mortelle. L'art pictural dévoile le visible caché derrière les apparences et contribue à changer notre regard, sans faire la morale. De Pierre Bruegel à Frida Kalho, nous pénétrons dans les profondeurs de notre modernité quand elle rencontre les corps différents et passe de la prégnance du Crucifié à une indécision radicale sur l'humain. Tout presse la communauté internationale et chaque communauté nationale à prendre la mesure des souffrances et de la passion de vivre de ceux qui doivent lutter contre la dépréciation dont ils sont l'objet. Prendre cette mesure, c'est aussi fouiller la mémoire des siècles et convoquer les sciences à comprendre toutes les dimensions d'une question qui affecte chaque collectivité humaine. Les travaux croisés d'histoire, de sociologie, d'anthropologie sont aussi rares qu'indispensables. Le présent ouvrage est le premier, en français, à restituer les visions picturales du corps abîmé, indissociables de celles de notre corporéité commune

Introduces the work of the seventeenth-century Dutch portrait draughtsman to a wider audience. Until recently, the Dutch draughtsman Johannes Thopas, who was born deaf in 1626, was only known to a small group of connoisseurs, dealers and collectors. However, his remarkable, subtle and technically refined portrait drawings on parchment deserve a wider audience. This handsome publication, the first devoted to his work, will prove to be an eye opener for many art lovers. Beginning with his earliest works (two beautiful miniatures of 1646 in the Fundation Custodia in Paris), Thopas produced incredibly refined drawings, usually with lead point on parchment. Apart from lead-point drawings, Thopas made several drawings in colour, on parchment and on Japanese paper. In most cases these drawings were done after life. Furthermore, he produced at least one brilliant copy after a painting by Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem, Venus, Mars and Cupid, and even a painting, portraying a dead child. He must have made more paintings and certainly more drawings than the seventy we know today (all of which are catalogued and illustrated here). In this exhibition his only known painting and the one mythological drawing are shown and accompanied by thirty of his most beautiful portraits, from private collections in the US, Canada, United Kingdom and the Netherlands, as well as museums, such as the Albertina in Vienna, the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum, the Städel in Frankfurt and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
